Satchmo Summerfest

This weekend festival dedicated to the memory of Louis Armstrong presents an extensive roster of performances by contemporary New Orleans musicians from many genres, paying homage to the musical and cultural legend. Bands coming to play read like a who's who of traditional and contemporary jazz and brass bands; plus there's children's programming, seminars, special events, and tasty food, too. The two main stages are located at the Jazz Museum in the Old US Mint, 400 Esplanade Avenue. Daily admission $7 in advance, $10 at the door. satchmosummerfest.org.
